Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Don Henley: Solo albums I Can't Stand Still (1982) and Building The Perfect Beast (1985) both reach US Top 10. Still under contract, still writing, recording and touring.
Timothy B Schmit: Two solo albums - Playing It Cool (1984) and Timothy B (1987) - fail to make it into the US Top 100. Two years ago, he and Frey joined Henley on stage at his concert in Massachusetts (the closest thing to an Eagles reunion). Still active on the LA session scene.
Randy Meisner: Quit the group in 1977, two solo albums - One More Song (1978, chronicles his last days with the group; features Frey and Henley on vocals) and Randy Meisner (1982) - reach US number 50 and 94 respectively. Formed largely unsuccessful Black Tie with Billy Swan and James Griffin in 1990. Now living in Nebraska.
Bernie Leadon: Quit in 1975, formed The Bernie Leadon/Michael Georgiades Band in 1977, their Natural Progressions album reached US Number 91. Spent most of the Eighties in The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
Joe Walsh: No solo career beyond the single 'Life's Been Good', released while still in the group (1978, reached UK Number 14). Current whereabouts unknown.
Don Felder: Airborne (1983), his only solo album, reaches US 176. At the time he professed he'd much rather have remained an Eagle; stayed in demand for his slide guitar skills.
